Question

Doesn't the 767/777 have it's own extendable stairs under the front door like the 737?

Never flown one so no idea.

Boing-
I wouldn't have thought looking at the ground from 7 miles up was a very professional way to assess diversion capabilities in the first place, never mind if you can see bu***r all but sheep.

For all you know there could be a fully-equipped USAF base down there that you missed while trying to spot hospitals from FL370.

Talking to a knowledgable and helpful controller, even if he is sitting 150 miles away in Prestwick, would surely be your first priority.
